No Stackeye210 I do not (get off on pointing out peoples mistakes) I just do not think that people need to figure out what that word was supposed to be.

Now related to the story - Good for the CPD for trying to solve a cold case involving an innocent child. I hope they come to a conclusion for this family. It would be nice if this guy would just confess since he’s already in jail for 70 years.
